How To Lucid Dream
For those unfamiliar with the term, I have good news; Lucid Dreaming is actually a pretty simple concept. A Lucid Dream is a dram in which you are aware that you are dreaming. The degree to which your Lucid Dream is lucid is dependent on how much of the dream you can remember once you awaken, how stable the dream experience is and how much control you have over the dream.
The most important part of this equation is the control you have over the events of your dream and that you know that you are in fact dreaming. You are in control of your dream and can have any experience in your Lucid Dream that you want to have.
Just think about this for a second. The events in a Lucid Dream seem real; but with the difference that you know that it is all a dream and that you are safe; there is no risk of injury in a Lucid Dream and no limits to your abilities. It is a kind of \"virtual reality\" experience which no computer can come close to in terms of realism.
Lucid Dreaming is an incredible skill and many more people are learning to experience it. The Lucid Dream is very rarely experienced by those who are unaware of it or who have not taken the time to learn how to do it. Can you imagine how fun and thrilling it would be to be able to have a lucid dream whenever you wanted to?
Lucid Dreaming gives you the opportunity to do anything you've ever wanted to do; to experience anything you've ever wanted to experience. You can meet your favorite celebrities of the present and the past, visit other planets, have wild erotic experiences; anything which is within the power of your imagination is possible in Lucid Dreaming.
The ability to Lucid Dream regularly is one which it once took a very long time to learn. Many would spend months in training before they were able to have their first Lucid Dream – and for some, Lucid Dreaming stayed just out of reach no matter how much they tried.
So are there any simple ways of experiencing a Lucid Dream?
There are those who believe that some foods can make Lucid Dreaming more likely. These foods include mustard, orange juice and cheese, if eaten shortly before bed.
Others which have been mentioned are popcorn, ice cream and pickles. These are not felt to be as effective as the three mentioned above, but they are sworn to by many who say that they create the mental condition necessary for Lucid Dreaming. Of course, many of these foods are not conducive to restful sleep due to their high fatty acid, fat and salt content.
Can Technology Assist You?
Your chances to experience Lucid Dream session improves with the new advancing technology. There are now devices on the market that alerts you that you are dreaming and which can induce a Lucid Dream Session. These are quite innovative in that they are simply masks which monitor your eyes. When they detect REM or Rapid Eye Movement, which is an indicator of dreaming, a red diode blinks into your eyes. This beam is registered in your brain and serves as a reminder that you are in fact dreaming and that you are still in control. It is then that you can take control o the dream.
But it is some breakthroughs in audio technology which have opened the doors to Lucid Dreaming for everyone. Sound waves of differing frequencies are played into each ear, a technique called binaural beats.
By listening to these binaural frequencies, the hemispheres of the brain are synchronized and the brainwaves are put into the REM sleep state, which is the proper state to have Lucid Dreams.
If you've always wanted to try out Lucid Dreaming, binaural sound is certainly the quickest and easiest way to begin.
